Little River Lyrics

Sunny afternoon on a riverside
Children playing games of seek-and-hide
They throw the colored ball and they hide away
But the devil stopped their harmless play

Little Tommy tried to catch the ball
He tumbeled into the water and he lost control
But Mary's little hand couldn't save the boy
Pain is...when you lose a friend and she cried

Tell me, little river, tell me where my love has gone
For him I wait forever, till the morning he will return
Tell me, little river, why don't you give him back?
Send him this little flower, as long as I live he can't be dead

Little children playing on the shore
They don't talk about it anymore
What had happened on that warm September day
Sometimes in the wind you hear a prayer

Tell me, little river
Tell me where my love has gone
For him I wait forever
Till the morning he will return
Tell me, little river
Why don't you give him back?
Send him this little flower
As long as I live he can't be dead...
